Throughout history, women in science have been made invisible, but with the passage of time and a more inclusive and equitable look, they have been recognized. Yet the numbers are still small. According to the UNESCO report “Cracking the Code: Girls’ and Women’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education”, only 28 % of researchers in the world are women and, in higher education, “women represent only 35% of students enrolled in studies in STEM-related areas”.
